Life is an exercise to express the InExpressible.

Innovation….’Hmmm’’ buzz word. The movie 3 Idots has highlighted it very well….Recently, US president Obama emphasized on Innovation for boosting competitiveness and job creation. Yes, innovation is also a business strategy. A business farm can succeed based on low price, quality offering or some differentiation/innovation. Today, I am starting a new series on innovation "What an idea, Sirji" at our blog “Express YourSelf !”

Here, you will find some innovative ideas, tips and tricks, application of technology in our day to day life, some basic theory behind it. I will also contribute a new blog, E-Science Center. It targets students, to think creative and innovative. The blog will have lots of projects, practical application of theory, concepts that students learn in school. It just makes science learning as fun. :)

I wish to follow some format/template to describe innovative ideas. I got inspiration to create such template from a famous book "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides with a foreword by Grady Booch (Gang of Four, or GoF)

Innovation name: A word or a phrase that concisely describe the innovative idea. Intent: Purpose to solve a particular need. Context: A historical background about identification of the need and motivation for such innovation.Applicability: Describes some common situation attributes, where we can apply this innovation. Accessories: A list of required tools, softwares, hardwares, etc.Implementation: Step by step guide to implement the solutions. Known Uses: Use cases for the innovationLimitations: Future Scope: Related solutions: Sometimes the related solution, may be more complex. Read this funny article "Process Improvement - Good Story"

Sometimes, I will mention about my ideas, where I need your inputs to manifest it. The implementation steps are vague. So fasten your seatbelt to explore and also to contribute for some innovations at our own blog, “Express YourSelf!” and also at a new blog, E-Science Center. Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
